Interabundia — The Network of Abundance and Consciousness

The manifesto

We, the interabundants, firmly believe that all human life, other species, and even those yet to be born form a single living network. We renounce the narratives of scarcity that fragment us, because we see that the seeds of plenitude already beat within every connection.

We believe that true wealth is amplified when every node in the network nourishes the others. We choose courageous generosity over fear and imagination over cynicism. We cultivate systems that not only prevent harm but regenerate what is alive and what is possible.

That is why we declare that:

Interdependence is the law of existence: any progress that impoverishes the whole is a step backward.
Abundance is built: we dream of a humanity that lives in a post-scarcity world, with lives full of meaning.
Consciousness is the first inexhaustible resource and the compass that guides our decisions.
Interdependence, Abundance, and Consciousness hold one another up: they unite us, propel us, and orient us toward our dreams, guided by an ethic that keeps widening.
The future is designed here and now: every action, every insight, every technology that regenerates life turns the vision into tangible reality.

We invite all people, communities, businesses, and nations to join hands, knowledge, and dreams to weave Interabundia: the Network of Abundance and Consciousness, where humanity unites, prospers, and transcends itself.

The challenges

The Six Eclipses

In ancient times, an eclipse was an evil omen: the sun devoured by a monster, an enraged god; the light vanished and the whole world held its breath. This term has been adopted to name humanity's great “villains”: phenomena in which our collective shadows almost completely block out the light of what we could become.

Demographic Decline

Artificial Intelligence

Climate Change

Nuclear War

Hostile Biotechnology

Planetary Extinction Events

They are not humanity's only challenges. Extreme poverty, inaccessible housing, deficient education, gender inequality, or fragile healthcare are also challenges that Interabundia addresses. And they are not separate: every point of poverty that drops, every additional year of schooling, every robust health system also reduces the risk of an Eclipse reaching us.

But the six Eclipses are the most complex, and the ones that could lead us to the extinction of the species. No single person, company, or country can face them alone.

The proposal

The Three Pillars

Interabundia proposes three complementary Pillars: Interdependence, a narrative that unites humanity; Abundance, thriving in an ambitious and dream-driven way; and Consciousness as a subjective and collective compass.

They are a functional architecture: Interdependence is the network, the fabric that converts individual energy into collective energy; Abundance is the current, the engine that grants the capacity to build what is missing; Consciousness is the compass, which ethically guides everything else. Each Pillar, on its own, already makes things better. Together, they form the complete symbol of Interabundia.

Interdependence, to cooperate and unite humanity; Abundance, to dream and build what is missing; and Consciousness, to feel and be felt, orient ourselves, and awaken all our inner potential.

Interdependence

Flexible large-scale cooperation and the story we decide to invent and believe together; in our case, Interabundia.

Interdependence is the fundamental architecture of existence. No living being, community, or nation thrives in isolation: human respiration relies on oxygen from forests, and photosynthesis depends on the CO₂ we exhale. In the same way, humanity's advancements are collective achievements, impossible without the contributions of millions of people.

In the era of planetary challenges —technological disruption, ecological collapse, nuclear risk— cooperation is the best defense. Yet, distrust among nations, companies, and individuals is at its highest since the end of World War II. It is the exact opposite of what the moment demands.

We cannot afford to distrust each other so deeply right when challenges arise that no single country or individual can address alone. Only with a united humanity will we have a real chance against increasingly complex and interconnected challenges.

Abundance

Abundance is not "more for the sake of more": it is more of what truly matters, with less negative impact.

Abundance embraces uncertainty, enabling the design of societies that produce more than they consume and face the unknown without fear.

On a personal level, it is a state of expansive trust —a dream-driven mindset reaching for the stars and anchored by meaningful work. On a collective level, it is a political agenda of regenerative production. It multiplies opportunities and aligns incentives so that what is possible systematically exceeds what is necessary, shared fairly until the cost of what truly matters approaches zero.

Abundance is a vision and bold ambition for humanity to live in a post-scarcity world. When this narrative takes root, political debate will shift away from fighting over how to divide a limited pie and obsessing over bureaucratic processes. Instead, it will focus on generating truly abundant results to solve humanity's challenges —and, above all, creating lives free from scarcity and full of meaning.

Consciousness

Consciousness is the capacity to suffer —and, from there, the capacity to transform that suffering into greater happiness.

Science still lacks a theory to explain consciousness, and that ignorance compels us to be humble. From there arises the principle of empathetic precaution: if there is reasonable doubt that something can feel, we act as if it can.

It is a deliberately simple definition, because from it stems the single question every decision should answer: Does this reduce suffering, or amplify it? A single question that reframes any political, business, or scientific debate at its root.

Suffering is not pain. Pain is inevitable: a sensation registered by the body. Suffering is added when the mind argues with that sensation and with the present moment that brings it. It is the rejection of reality. Accepting reality, even when difficult, opens the door to diminishing suffering.

Neither rocks, nor rivers, nor satellites reject the reality they register. Only conscious entities do. And if we understand the subjectivity of another, we should be willing to minimize their suffering: in humans, animals, and inorganic intelligences.

What you carry within

Singularities

Singularities are extraordinary skills and deep values that we all carry inside. They are not superpowers, but qualities that, when discovered and developed, reveal all human potential. When a person awakens them, they become their own hero.

“As a child, I felt like the superhero Deku: no superpowers, but notebooks full of notes and a positive, hardworking attitude. I believed my only power was staying enthusiastic and not giving up; even so, there were years when I felt lost and pessimistic. Luckily, over time, the activation of my Singularities gradually arrived —not fictional superpowers, but moral, cognitive, and affective skills that can also be trained.” Aiko, in Interabundia: A New World

You will recognize them because you have already seen them in action.

In the person who finds the exact word when someone collapses.
In the one who asks “why?” and “for what purpose?”.
In the person who tries again after the fifth rejection.
In the person who enters a room a stranger and leaves with three friends.
In someone who admits they were wrong without anyone asking them to.

You don't need to acquire them: they are already inside. But they are asleep. And what awakens them is our consciousness. In Interabundia, we call the Inner Self the place where that consciousness becomes tangible: a space of pure presence, without noise, where one can truly observe oneself. That is where Singularities are born. And from there, they are trained, developed, and matured —just like training a muscle or a language.

Without denying the uniqueness of every person, Interabundia proposes ten Singularities that function as a shared language to grow and cooperate in a network.

The starting point

Interabundia: A new world

A novel about humanity uniting to solve its greatest challenges and how that transformation begins within us.

In 2041, civilization is on the brink. Global distrust is spreading and the threats to humanity's survival feel closer than ever. Amid this fragmentation, Aiko, a young woman shaped by pessimism and a lack of purpose, embarks on a transformative journey that will lead her, against all odds, to become the brightest voice on the planet.

Guided by memories of her father, her mother's illness, and Japanese heroes, Aiko begins to awaken the Singularities: human abilities capable of transforming lives and reigniting hope. What starts as a deeply personal quest soon becomes something much larger than herself, as she is drawn to the center of the race to save the world.

Caught between unexpected love, unlikely alliances, and relentless adversaries, Aiko will try to build a shared vision capable of reuniting humanity and preventing its collapse, giving rise to Interabundia: a new horizon of abundance and consciousness where people can truly thrive and reach their full potential.

Interabundia is a story to inspire, to dream of a better future, and to believe that the next hero could be you.

Interabundia is more than a novel. It is a vision of what we can become: each of us, and humanity as a whole.

The horizon

The Vision: Wonderland

Imagine a world where humanity has not only survived its greatest challenges, but has learned to flourish together. Where Interdependence is no longer a choice: it is almost a physical law.

On that ground of shared trust, Abundance has accomplished what seemed impossible. Energy is virtually limitless —nuclear fusion, renewables— and AI and quantum computing have multiplied what we can do with it. This, coupled with an ambitious innovation agenda, long-term supply-side policies, and a network of purpose-driven businesses, has collapsed the cost of almost everything that matters: housing, healthcare, education, and food are so accessible that scarcity has ceased to exist. Extreme poverty has been eradicated.

The extraordinary productivity of an artificial superintelligence designed with maternal instincts funds a universal basic income. An economy anchored to the real abundance we create, not the scarcity we hoard. Inequality hasn't vanished, but it no longer determines who can live with dignity.

Because full abundance will have freed what we need most: time and freedom to dedicate to those we love and to pursue our most ambitious dreams with purpose. And humanity will have ceased to be a single-planet species: not to escape Earth, but to care for it better and take consciousness further.

And we will have understood something about suffering. Suffering is the rejection of reality as it is. Pain happens —it is part of being alive— but suffering is added: it is born when the world of our stories refuses to accept what is actually happening. That form of suffering, the most universal and deepest, is at least in part trainable. Perhaps, in its most unnecessary form, avoidable.

Interabundia's boldest vision is ethical: that one day humanity will clearly know how to distinguish what is real from a story it has told itself. That every person learns to accept reality as it is —not out of resignation, but as a starting point to act without the friction of unnecessary suffering. The development of consciousness will have been the first step to transform suffering into happier lives and unlock each person's potential.

Beyond that, on a distant and difficult yet plausible horizon, perhaps we can explore whether subjective consciousness connects to something greater. Whether a real collective consciousness emerges when millions of minds cooperate, create, and care together. And whether that consciousness, subjective and collective, can travel beyond Earth and flourish across the universe.

There will always be problems: the “villain” that always returns is our own stories. We need them —they are what allows us to coordinate among millions, across borders— but they are also our greatest risk: when a story ceases to be recognized as a story, it can no longer be corrected, and then it devours us.

At least humanity will have learned to distinguish it, to tell its stories for what they are: useful fictions that allow us to build together and face whatever challenges come, not absolute truths that no one can question.

Wonderland is within our reach. Within every human hero are real powers that make us better and happier: Singularities are not fiction, they are cultivable capacities. The hard part is not believing in them; it is believing that, together, we can go this far. But after all, who doesn't like to believe in an epic story about the future of humanity?

Let us dream in Interabundia: another, better world is possible. It is within our reach if we keep the three Pillars together: Interdependence, to cooperate and unite humanity; Abundance, to dream and build what is missing; and Consciousness, to feel and be felt, orient ourselves, and awaken all our inner potential.

Now, everyone onto the stage.

Wonderland is not a destination you arrive at: it is the path we walk together.

Who powers Interabundia

Interabundia is the result of twenty years addressing the same question: how do we build a better world. First through imagination, anime, and superheroes. Then through diplomacy, purpose-driven companies, academia, and public outreach.

Joan Alexander Olivella (Barcelona, 1998) is a speaker and professor of sustainability and corporate purpose at ESADE Business School. He founded Optimistikus, a channel devoted to exploring global challenges with optimism.

In Interabundia, he offers a transformative, visionary perspective on humanity's greatest challenges, and on how each of us can help build a better life.
